Dragon's Den [07 February 06]
I can confidentally predict that the following will happen in the first epsiode of the third series of the popular BBC2 programme, "Dragon's Den".
The first contestant will walk on (probably carrying something unusual looking which makes the dragons stare in wonder with smiles on their faces... due to the editor cutting in bits from hours before or later) and will begin their pitch only to stumble over words seconds later and then procceed to completely fall apart and stand in silence for a good 20 seconds whilst taking deep breaths (leaving us viewers cringing in horror at their embarassing situation) whilst they compose themselves before just managing to nervously finish their presentation. Then the dragon's will all tell the aspiring entrepeneur that their big idea is rubbish. The contestant will then politely say "thank you for your advice and time" and then drag themselves away and back down the stairs.
The rest of the contestants will also find that getting blood from a stone an easier task than getting it from the Dragons. Between 15-30 minutes into the show a contestant will come on and we'll think "what a great idea!", and so will the dragons. they won't be able to praise it enough. This will be one of those silly contestants who refuses to budge on percentages and believes that offering a 15% stake in his/her business for £250,000 is a bargain. This contestant will probably have at least three of the dragons fighting over him/her. This contestant will up the percentage to a mere 20% before the dragons have had enough and simultaneously effectively tell this idiot who is throwing away his/her's family financial security to "bugger off!"
But.... the last contestant will get the money they want.
I will eat my hat if the above doesn't happen.
